PLOS Computational Biology: Software
The PLOS Computational Biology Software Section was launched in 2011 and has been steadily gathering momentum since its beginnings. Handled by our Software Editors, Software articles highlight and describe outstanding open source software of exceptional importance that has been shown to provide new biological insights, either as a part of the Software article, or published elsewhere.
